The Second Sunday Of Advent
The Second Sunday Of Advent
Merciful God, who sent thy messengers the prophets to preach repentance and prepare the way for our salvation: Give us grace to heed their warnings and forsake our sins, that we may greet with joy the coming of Jesus Christ our Redeemer; who liveth and reigneth with thee and the HolySpirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

During Advent, the Genesis of Orthodoxy class takes a hiatus. Beginning on December 3 at 10 a.m., and continuing on December 10, 17, and 31, the Sunday class takes up the theology of Christmas, in preparation for that season. A consideration of Christmas involves a host of fundamental issues related to the incarnation: the self-emptying of the Word (kenosis), Christ’s pre-existence, the particularity of God being born a first-century Jew. The class draws from Holy Scripture and writings from the tradition. Note there is no class on December 24.
This session looks closely at the story of the Nativity found in the Gospel of St. Matthew, observing how the Matthean narrative addresses the issues of his particular community. The remaining classes in this series are on December 17 and 31. Note there is no class on December 24.
